    Must you take a DOT physical from the state where you attend a community college trucking school or can it be from any state?

    Any state. The DOT health card is federal.

    YOU'RE confused? I replied to that other thread...then when I went back to "new posts", this one was on top, said it had one reply, but it wasn't the one I had just typed out. Took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.:biggrin_25526:

    The only thing is that the doc you use must be on the approved list that the gov. came out with a few years ago you can ck on the web site of all doc that went thru a hoop or two to get on the new list?

    Some companies will require you to go to THEIR Doctor.

    But... What they said..

    Keep in mind once you get preapproved for a trucking company you'll likely have to take another physical while in orientation.
